It definitely makes the title more prominent overnight, plus it lets you keep her away from Chitose if you want.</div></div></blockquote><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Yes. I made a little tweak to the Shockwave title just a while ago, changing it from fixed midcard status to “floating”. I expect it to end up near as important as the World title if Cherry holds on to it for a while.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-username="MrWolf101" data-cite="MrWolf101" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="42699" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="margin-left:25px;">I do like that you keep the number of the people in the tournament limited as I feel it helps make just being in the tournament feel like a big deal.</div></div></blockquote><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Yeah, if I had chosen to go with 16 participants or more the process of getting into the tournament would probably not have become much of a story point, now it became something to fight for. And important names kept out of it, like Talia and Foxxy just to name two. In the past, the world champion has been a participant in the tournament, but now I could afford to keep Chitose out of it.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-username="MrWolf101" data-cite="MrWolf101" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="42699" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="margin-left:25px;">That mystery wrestler render is great, but I honestly have no idea who it could be. I would think all the European wrestlers won't work in the US, and the list of possible US workers is just so long.</div></div></blockquote><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Yeah, I really haven’t limited it down at all, have I? </div><img alt=":D" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/biggrin.png.929299b4c121f473b0026f3d6e74d189.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-username="MrWolf101" data-cite="MrWolf101" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="42699" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="margin-left:25px;">I'm happy to see Thea getting a push. She is definitely talented, and is more than capable of working a quicker pace and stealing the show.</div></div></blockquote><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Sometimes I feel this is the case with my whole roster. Heck, even enhancement talent like Darkness Cat developed into a fine worker who would not make a fool out of herself in any company as long as they took the time to build up her popularity. Thea is definitely someone who can put up good performances.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-username="MrWolf101" data-cite="MrWolf101" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="42699" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="margin-left:25px;">I'll have to plead complete brain meltdown on Paige having a spot in the tournament before. I'm guessing I got the 4-way match that Kass won and the won that Paige won for the 'any match you want' stipulation mixed up in my mind.</div></div></blockquote><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Hah, all good. The whole thing about qualifiers for the tournement was something I had to check and double check as I booked the whole thing. It was a bit confusing, I must admit.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-username="MrWolf101" data-cite="MrWolf101" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="42699" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="margin-left:25px;">Dark Match: </div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Capitano </strong></div><div style="margin-left:25px;">vs Laura Flame vs Claire Winters vs Deborah Young</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><em>I feel like Capitano needs a win badly as her momentum has to have taken a serious hit too over the past couple of shows.</em></div></div></blockquote><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> That was pretty much exactly it. There was a time in June-July when Capitano was the most over worker in the company, and she has fallen quite drastically since then, so let’s give her a little back at least.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-username="MrWolf101" data-cite="MrWolf101" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="42699" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="margin-left:25px;">Opening Match: </div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Etsuko Arihyoshi & Maria Guest </strong></div><div style="margin-left:25px;">vs Anderson & Snyder</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><em>Now this is interesting.

It’ll have to wait for another day.

It might be odd to have that be a quarter final match when the earlier encounter was for the world title, but this was Paige showing that she has found her balance, and that the intimidation of someone like.Cherry Bomb won’t by itself defeat her.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-username="MrWolf101" data-cite="MrWolf101" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="42699" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="margin-left:25px;">Bonus Questions:</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Which is Match of the Night? </div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><em>Got to be </em></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><em><strong>Paige vs Cherry</strong></em></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><em>, right?</em></div></div></blockquote><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> It was not, as Charity and Jillian stole the show. It was super close though, just a point between them. Here is part of the secret why I put the secondary title on Cherry: She really does not like to lose, but she’s also not really putting up main event numbers. She can be carried to a really good match (like this one), but her individual performance was something like 25-30 points worse than Paige’s, and that’s quite typical of what she’s been doing. </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-username="MrWolf101" data-cite="MrWolf101" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="42699" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="margin-left:25px;"> An impromptu “street fight” breaks out.

Top 3 I think.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> I can reveal now that getting Thea into the Queen of the Ring tournament was part of a prize selected by Kingjames some time ago. I asked for a wrestler to get some kind of push in relation to the tournament, and I figured he’d pick someone who could perhaps win the whole thing, but Thea Davis was not who I expected. So a big part of the push was getting her at all *into* the tournament, and then to have a - reasonably - strong showing against Killer Kass, even if it ended in a clean loss. It has elevated her from her previous enhancement talent/opener status into a lower midcarder, so it did help her, and who knows, this might only be the beginning…</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-username="kingjames" data-cite="kingjames" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="42699" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="margin-left:25px;">You know, just yesterday, I thought to myself that I should get some predictions in for this show. Looks like you beat me to it! Serves me right for putting off for tomorrow what I could do today.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> That brawl between Chitose and Talia was apparently some serious hot fire, because you hit the vaunted 100 grade on that segment! Nicely done. It got me thinking about some of the Attitude Era brawls, particularly the ones with Stone Cold, where the workers went all over the place for ten, fifteen minutes. People were super hot for those, even though in some ways, they were super terrible from an in-person visual perspective. Particularly for those who couldn't see the 'Tron, it could mean you couldn't see a dang thing. Oh, the excesses of the Attitude Era…</div></div></blockquote><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> These two can do nothing wrong, basically.

That's a good thing, because Kass is most certainly the Destroyer.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> I'm intrigued to know the identity of the "Spectre".

DarEatWorld · April 11, 2017

Dark Match: Deborah Young vs Águila Azul Celeste /w Hannah Potter - Going back to my old theory that if monsters don't get to monster from time to time they become worthless.

Opening Match: Capitano vs Spectre - It's surely too early for Capitano to get her revenge just yet?

Match 2: Thea Davis & The Bad Girls vs The Franchise Players © for the Shockwave Trios titles - The Franchise Players just seem to be a level above Davis, Flame and Foxxy so while I prefer the challengers I think they'll come up short here.

Match 3: Higa vs Killer Kass Queen of the Ring Semi Final 1 - Hard to call but I think that Kass still has a role to play at the top of the card and Higa has less to lose in defeat here.

Match 4: Paige Croft vs Jillian Jarvis Queen of the Ring Semi Final 2 - Well you've actually made me bet against Paige! The injured knee could be the setup for a glorious victory but it seems more likely to me that it will both provide a reason for her defeat and an opportunity for Double-J to be very, very heelish!

Main Event: Kitsune Warriors /w Boss Man Brayfield vs The Untouchables for the Tag Team titles - Depends what story you want to tell but I expect Boss Man to be at the core of it. Either his sneaky cheating wins it and adds to the friction with Etsuko who's not happy at how she's won her maiden title or else his sneaky cheating costs them and adds to the friction with Etsuko who's not happy at losing her shot that way.

Bonus Questions:

Which is the Match of the Night? - Croft/Jarvis for me.

Two titles are up for grab - the Tag Team titles and the Shockwave Trios titles. How many title changes are there? - One.

EXTRA: Who wins the Queen of the Ring tournament? (1 bonus points scored with the conclusion of Queen of the Ring) - Jillian Jarvis.

EXTRA 2: Who is behind the mask of the mystery attacker called Spectre who disrupted Capitano and Thea Davis' match? (Nothing has really been revealed about this worker, so I’ll leave this up - 2 bonus points to the prediction contest where the identity is revealed) - You're killing me here dude, I haven't a clue! Shiori Jippensha?

Tie Breaker: What’s the show rating at the first ever QAW show in the South West? - Another guess here... 67?

And since I have not received any suggestions, I’ll leave this one up here, in case you come up with anything: Like I mentioned in a previous post, I'm adding a PPV-like show around the end of December. I'm welcoming naming suggestions - QAW All I Want For Christmas...

kingjames · April 11, 2017

<p>Dark Match: Deborah Young vs <strong>Águila Azul Celeste</strong> /w Hannah Potter</p><p>

<em>Blue Sky Eagle seems to be the more interesting choice here, with her manager and her backstory. Plus, there's a chance that she's got a decent amount of pop in the Southwest, based on spillover from Mexico.</em></p><p> </p><p>

Opening Match: Capitano <strong>vs</strong> Spectre</p><p>

<em>Hmmm. It's too early for the Spectre to lose outright without neutering/Wyatt'ing her, isn't it? It's possible the Spectre loses via DQ, if the point is more to injure Cappy than necessarily win. Or Spectre wins through chicanery, which keeps Cappy looking strong in the early going of whatever story she and Spectre have going. But I'm going with the draw because I think there's money pursuing this further down the line, and you don't want to give this away just yet. Would not be surprised to see this one degenerating into a no contest as Cappy and Spectre care less about the rules and more about beating the stuffing out of each other.</em></p><p> </p><p>

Match 2: Thea Davis & The Bad Girls vs <strong>The Franchise Players</strong> © for the Shockwave Trios titles</p><p>

<em>I think this one may be booked as an open match, but in the end, I think you keep the belts on the champions with a decisive victory. The Players just seem a head above their opponents here, but I think Davis and the Bad Girls manage to make themselves look good even in defeat and come out of the match better than they started, even with a loss.</em></p><p> </p><p>

Match 3: <strong>Higa</strong> vs Killer Kass Queen of the Ring Semi Final 1</p><p>

<em>Irresistible force meeting the immovable object here. I could see this one getting physically brutal, but Kass - as powerful as she is - isn't on Higa's level as a competitor. Higa defeats Kass, but Kass makes Higa work </em><em><strong>hard</strong></em><em> for it.</em></p><p> </p><p>

Match 4: Paige Croft vs <strong>Jillian Jarvis</strong> Queen of the Ring Semi Final 2</p><p>

<em>Paige Croft has been facing a kind of crisis of confidence in the recent past, after being demolished by Cherry Bomb. Cherry's got that kind of effect on people. And that lack of confidence, in the face of the sociopathic single-mindedness of Jillian Jarvis? Jarvis pounces on any sign of weakness, and Croft's psyche might as well have a big ol' neon sign and a bullseye on it. Besides, Jarvis' victory sets up a classic face/heel final, which is the more satisfying finale in my opinion.</em></p><p> </p><p>

Main Event: Kitsune Warriors /w Boss Man Brayfield vs <strong>The Untouchables</strong> for the Tag Team titles</p><p>

<em>The issues with Arihyoshi and Brayfield have been simmering for a while now. That status quo cannot hold forever, and I think this is where things begin to fall apart. Does Arihyoshi catch Brayfield cheating in her favor and get distracted from winning? Maybe. Does Maria Guest throw her lot in with Brayfield completely, by screwing Arihyoshi on Brayfield's order, to send a message? Maybe. But whatever the case may be, I think it's the story outside the ring that's going to be more compelling than the action inside.</em></p><p> </p><p>

Bonus Questions:</p><p>

Which is the Match of the Night?</p><p>

<em>I think </em><em><strong>Paige and Jarvis</strong></em><em> has the potential to be a quiet classic.</em></p><p> </p><p>

Two titles are up for grab - the Tag Team titles and the Shockwave Trios titles. How many title changes are there?</p><p>

<em>Team Entropy defeats Team Chaos, and </em><em><strong>zero changes</strong></em><em> happen.</em></p><p> </p><p>

EXTRA: Who wins the Queen of the Ring tournament? (1 bonus points scored with the conclusion of Queen of the Ring)</p><p>

<em>Higa hates losing cleanly, and I think there's money to be made by Higa overcoming Jarvis' playing fast and loose with the rules. So I'm going with </em><em><strong>Higa</strong></em><em> taking the tournament after an instant classic of a match.</em></p><p> </p><p>

EXTRA 2: Who is behind the mask of the mystery attacker called Spectre who disrupted Capitano and Thea Davis' match? (Nothing has really been revealed about this worker, so I’ll leave this up - 2 bonus points to the prediction contest where the identity is revealed) <em>At this early stage, I'm going with AAA's </em><em><strong>Zoe Ammis</strong></em><em> as the mystery worker. I mean, Cat had to declare war for a reason, and taking Zoe Ammis would be as good a reason as any.</em></p><p> </p><p>

As for your December PPV-esque show...</p><p> </p><p>

MrWolf101 · April 11, 2017

<p>Good to have QAW back as well. I have a lot of catching up to do. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/biggrin.png.929299b4c121f473b0026f3d6e74d189.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p>

I'll just go with everyone was intimidated by my picks. I feel like my good streak is going to end with this show. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p>

I think it's a good thing you made the Shockwave title a floating title. Someone like Cherry can really elevate it, and I don't think there is really a downside to making that change.</p><p> </p><p>

Dark Match: <strong>Deborah Young </strong>vs Águila Azul Celeste /w Hannah Potter</p><p>

<em>As much as I like Celeste, Young should still be more popular than her, and probably needs the win more.</em></p><p>

Opening Match: <strong>Capitano</strong> vs Spectre</p><p>

<em>Ooph, hard to pick against Spectre (could it be Emma Bitch?!) as you need to establish her, but the popularity gap (if she is coming over from Europe) would be so great that another loss would really hurt Capitano. I'd like to say DQ finish, but that is what I'm going for in the main event. I'm truly stumped. </em><img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/tongue.png.ceb643b2956793497cef30b0e944be28.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p>

Match 2: Thea Davis & The Bad Girls vs <strong>The Franchise Players ©</strong> for the Shockwave Trios titles</p><p>

<em>Feels like the Franchise Players need a longer reign to live up to their name and this would be a good win for them.</em></p><p>

Match 3: Higa vs <strong>Killer Kass</strong> Queen of the Ring Semi Final 1</p><p>

<em>Man, after those match grades, I'm not very confident in my Kass winning the tournament pick any more, but I'll keep with it.</em></p><p>

Match 4: Paige Croft vs <strong>Jillian Jarvis</strong> Queen of the Ring Semi Final 2</p><p>

<em>Very tough. I feel like Paige vs Kass would be a great final, but that you kind of want a swerve on that. If she is not in the title picture, I'm not sure where Paige goes from here if ther feud with Cherry is over, but I think you get to Paige vs the champion somewhere down the road.</em></p><p>

Main Event: <strong>Kitsune Warriors /w Boss Man Brayfield</strong> vs The Untouchables for the Tag Team titles</p><p>

<em>I'm thinking this is by DQ. It's hard to see you having the World title and tag titles on Ariwara for very long (I realize this could happen with Talia, but we'll cross that bridge when we get there </em><img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/wink.png.686f06e511ee1fbf6bdc7d82f6831e53.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><em>). After that on-fire brawl, I think Ariwara gets some juice back in the feud before a post-match attack by Quinzel.</em></p><p> </p><p>

Bonus Questions:</p><p> </p><p>

Which is the Match of the Night? <strong>Paige vs Jarvis</strong> should be a blast.</p><p>

Two titles are up for grab - the Tag Team titles and the Shockwave Trios titles. How many title changes are there? <em>I'll also go </em><em><strong>zero</strong></em><em>.</em></p><p>

EXTRA: Who wins the Queen of the Ring tournament? (1 bonus points scored with the conclusion of Queen of the Ring) <em>Eh, I have to stick with </em><em><strong>Kass</strong></em><em>.</em></p><p>

EXTRA 2: Who is behind the mask of the mystery attacker called Spectre who disrupted Capitano and Thea Davis' match? (Nothing has really been revealed about this worker, so I’ll leave this up - 2 bonus points to the prediction contest where the identity is revealed) <em>So, I went with </em><em><strong>Karen Bilious</strong></em><em> last time. I know the chokehold is a clue, but outside of keeping my fingers crossed for Emma Bitch, I'll stick with Karen. </em></p><p> </p><p>

Tiebreaker: Let's say <strong>65</strong>?</p><p> </p><p>

As for show names, I wanted to do something with Festivus, but that just comes out as WrestleUs or WreslteFest. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/redface.png.900245280682ef18c5d82399a93c5827.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p>

With two weeks to go before the big event, it seems QAW brass are having second thoughts about which match should main event Crowning the Queen. Going by the name, the Queen of the Ring final would make sense to main event, but does any match overshadow a World title match? </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

To help settling the matter, QAW has put up a poll on their web site, asking the fans for their opinion.

Águila Azul Celeste gets to show off some of her aerial offense against the much larger opponent, but it doesn’t take long for Deborah to pluck the bird out of the sky and break its wings, so to speak.

Camera cuts, and she enters a room with a sign on it: “American Sweethearts”, with a star-spangled logo. The locker room is deserted. We see her with her back toward the camera - she’s wearing a jacket with the American Sweethears logo herself. The camera cuts, but we’re basiically in the same place, but a yellow filter suggests we’re looking at the same place some time in the past. Teresa looks around the locker room at the name tags above the individual lockers: Danielle Sweetheart. Capitano. Alexis Lee. Christy Higgins. Teresa Perez. Talia Quinzel. Higa.

She snaps back, see the single locker being used - Maria’s. Coming to a decision, she takes off the club jacket, hangs it in the locker and switch off the lights as she leaves.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Cut to shots of Las Vegas skyline and the buzzing nightlife on the Strip seen from the rooftops. The camera sweeps, landing on three women looking over the city, like a group of superheroes. It’s Teresa Perez, Higa and Gemmei Oonishi. The segment ends as Teresa holds out her fist, Gemmei places hers on top, and Higa completes it.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Capitano is in the ring with a microphone, paces around the ring for a bit. </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

“Two weeks ago, I was attacked out of nowhere, taking away my hope of competing to be the Queen of the Ring. Last week, the same assailant lay in wait as I tried stopping Killer Kass’ needless assault on an already defeated opponent.” </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

She pauses, and turns toward the ramp down from gorilla position. “I hear they call you Spectre backstage. Well, I am in no mood chasing ghosts. Considering how interested in me you seem to be, I’m sure you are listening. If you’re not just a coward attacking from the shadows, come out and face me, eye to eye.”</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

There are a few long seconds of silence before music hits.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

</div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Grace Harper:</strong></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Is that what Spectre is out to do? Replace Capitano? To the point of stealing her entrance music? </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Out from backstage, Spectre steps out with Cherry Bomb trailing her. Spectre calmly steps into the ring, while Cherry stays on the apron, having picked up a microphone on her way. </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

“Spectre wants to inform you, Cappy, you are no longer needed here. The Bad Girls franchise has found your replacement.” Cherry points meaningfully at Spectre.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Capitano looks to the audience like, ‘is she for real?’ </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

“In case you didn’t notice, you have already kicked me out of the club that I founded.”</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Cherry shakes her head with an arrogant smile on her lips. “Oh, you misunderstand. Without the Bad Girls Club, your whole existence in QAW is pointless and sad, and if they’re not convinced,” Cherry says, pointing to the crowd, “Spectre will prove it in the ring. She accepts your challenge.”</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

</div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Opening Match: Capitano vs Spectre</strong></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

While Cherry Bomb at ringside is a constant distraction to Capitano, often looking over her shoulder for an attack in the back, but as the match goes on Cherry never interferes, seemingly happy to watch the match unfold however it may. </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

It soon becomes clear that technically, Capitano struggles to keep up with Spectre, and more than once, Spectre arrogantly allows Capitano a clean break, as if to show off her superiority. It’s only when Capitano goes top rope that she gets some effective offense in, sending Spectre across the ring with powerful missile drop kicks. A big spot toward the end happens when Capitano goes to the top turnbuckle, Spectre hits her with a springboard pele kick, sending her tumbling the floor. Fighting spills out into the crowd, and Spectre seems to hope the referee can’t see what’s going on through the mass of people, but forgets the camera relaying the action to the giant screen, showing with perfect clarity the repeated chair shots she gives Capitano. Erin Lawrence calls for the bell, declaring Spectre disqualified.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Foxxy LaRue come sprinting down the ramp, scatter Cherry Bomb and Spectre. There’s a brief brawl, but Cherry and Spectre seems satisfied to retreat, hurling insults at Foxxy as they back away.

The two lock eyes, Foxxy standing over the beaten down Capitano who looks up at her long time rival, long time sister in arms.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

</div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Alfonso Garcia:</strong></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Has there ever been a rivalry in QAW like the one between Foxxy LaRue and Capitano? So many times, they have shown how much they hate each other. I’m sure it’s not the person Capitano would have wanted to be saved by.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

</div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Farrah Hesketh: </strong></div><div style="margin-left:25px;">Do they though, Al? I think what they’re feeling for each other is a lot more complicated than plain hatred. </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

</div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Grace Harper: </strong></div><div style="margin-left:25px;">Whatever it was had the fans singing “Fight forever” as they did their best to straight up kill each other, and I don’t think it was for some deep rooted sense of respect for each other the savages were singing about. </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

</div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Farrah: </strong></div><div style="margin-left:25px;">Look, I think they just appreciated the great wrestling.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

</div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Grace: </strong></div><div style="margin-left:25px;">Yeah, you keep thinking that. </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

After what seems forever, Foxxy reaches out, offering Capitano a hand to get up. There’s another pregnant moment before Capitano demonstrably gets to her feet, and only afterwards accepts the outstretched hand. There are no smiles, just the handshake and the briefest nod from Capitano before she heads up the ramp alone.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

We cut to a filmed segment. In a board room overlooking the city of Houston, Dharma Gregg and Hannah Potter stand in front of what appears to be the board of QAW - a lot of grey suits lined up.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

One of them, who might be the chairman says: “Dharma Gregg, I understand you wanted to speak in front of the board. Considering how rarely you attend our meetings, this is a rare opportunity for us to hear straight from the baby’s mouth so to speak. How goes our investment in QAW?”</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Dharma looks like she has waited for an opportunity to speak her mind for ever. “Thank you. It is *awful*. It used to be wonderful, nobody minded what I did. Then that...woman came and ruined everything. Questioning everything I do, overriding my decisions as soon as I look away. Please, this double command of QAW has to stop.” She looks meaningfully toward Hannah Potter.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

“So, you feel you have been less effective in your duties since Hannah Potter joined management?” the chairman says. “Just for clarification.”</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

“YES, exactly!” she nods excitedly, looking happy that they understand.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

A bookish looking man next to the chairman pipes up. “It’s funny, I look here in the financial reports, and ever since Hannah appeared, subscriber numbers are up, attendance is up. When the rest of the industry is tanking, we’re selling as much merchandise and ads as always.”</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Dharma looks at him with a blank look. “What do you mean, funny?”</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

“Well, it seems, it’s good for business if we limit your influence on it.”</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Dharma blinks. Hannah Potter smiles sweetly.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

The chairman looks around the room. “I suggest we relieve Dharma Gregg from her duties as general manager and replace her for the time being with miss Hannah Potter. Any objections?”</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Dharma seems to have lots of objections, but is so stunned she can’t get a word out.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

A woman with Japanese features raise a finger. “We are in favor of removing Dharma Gregg from her position, but find Hannah Potter’s strong affiliation with the Mexican owner group slightly troubling.” She looks meaningfully toward the other end of the table.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

The chairman nods. “Your concerns have been noted, and we will pay extra attention to that, but for now, is there support for replacing Dharma Gregg with Hannah Potter as general manager of QAW?” </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

A quick show of hands show roughly two thirds supporting the motion, while the Japanese group abstain.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

“You… You will regret this! This is the biggest mistake you have made yet! I will make you pay! You have no idea what kind of enemy you have made.” Dharma sputters out, and can’t quite choose whether to direct her venom at the chairman or at Hannah. Not getting any reaction out of them, she just screams and drops her handful of documents on the floor and stomps out. </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

The chairman looks to Hannah Potter. “I hope she won’t cause too much trouble. She has been relieved of her duties, but it would be very costly to break our contract with miss Gregg. You’ll just have to deal with her best you can and hope her threats are ,” the chairman says.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

“Cleaning up after Dharma has been my job for the last couple of weeks, and it seems it will continue to be so.” Hannah says, bending down to pick up the papers Dharma dropped.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Backstage, Hannah Potter is standing with Higa in the brand new interview position.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

“Higa, this must be the most important match so far in your QAW career. How do you feel?”</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

In surprisingly good English, Higa responds calmly. “Killer Kass is strong, and have mean spirited allies. I hope we can have a good match.”</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

“You don’t sound intimidated. We have seen how Kass has treated her opponents in the past. Is there no fear?”</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

“If you fear pain or defeat you should not step into the ring. Whenever you face an opponent who might be stronger than you, defeat is always a possible outcome, and pain nearly a certainty. All I can do is execute the things I have practiced for thousands of hours, while withstanding whatever Kass can dish out.”</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

“You make it sound easy.” </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Higa shakes her head. “Kass is obviously the favorite, but if I go in with a wavering heart, I don’t have any chance. I have the training and the discipline. All I can do is trust what my masters have passed down to me, and not disappoint them by giving up before I have given myself every chance to win.”</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

</div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Match 3: Higa vs Killer Kass Queen of the Ring Semi Final</strong></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

In what boils down to a long test of strength, overwhelming power against thunderous stiff strong style kicks, Kass looks dominant with her powerful attacks but Higa refuse to back down, is beaten down over and over but gets up each time, powers up and kicks Kass in the chest, harder and harder each time, until a shocked Kass ends up flat on her back from the impact. From this point, Higa starts using her speed, attacking Kass’ base, making the already slower opponent practically stationary in comparison to Higa who is always moving. Kass gets her hits in, but the one time she tries the Kill Switch, Higa slips out of her grip, and slowly but surely the momentum is shifting to Higa. The first time she tries the Higa Green Driver Kass simply picks her up and slam her back first into the mat, but the second time Higa tries, Kass has been reduced to a rudderless battleship barely aware what hits her and the back of her head hits the mat first, followed by the three-count. </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

</div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Higa wins by pinfall in 11:18</strong></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>

Kass tries to get immediate revenge on the celebrating Higa and gets a big clothesline in from behind, but is almost immediately interrupted by Teresa Perez and Gemmei Oonishi who appear out of nowhere and chase her off, and the three celebrate Higa’s victory together in the ring.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

</div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Match 4: Paige Croft vs Jillian Jarvis Queen of the Ring Semi Final</strong></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Paige comes to the ring with her knee heavily taped after the post-match assault by Cherry Bomb last week. As the match goes on, the bandaged knee is like cat nip for Jarvis who can’t resist attacking the weak point. For a while, it looks like it’s going to be a squash match as the first ten minutes of the match is one long beatdown. At some point, fortunes turn and Paige gets the upper hand, submission hold after submission hold. It seems inevitable that Jarvis is going to tap out, but she shows her resilience, dragging herself to a rope break each time. The end comes out of nowhere when Jarvis sends Paige off in an Irish whip, Paige runs the ropes, but her knee gives up, she stumbles, and that’s all Jarvis need to land her Tornado Elbow Smash, and Paige does not recover in time.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

In a frankly enormous locker room back stage, Chitose Ariwara and Etsuko Arihyoshi are preparing for the upcoming tag team title match. In the background, Boss Man Brayfield and Maria Guest are hanging around, chatting for themselves, Maria seemingly very into whatever Boss Man is talking about.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

“Etsuko-chan, I don’t like that he’s around. I don’t think he’s good for you,” Chitose says in hushed voice to her friend.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Etsuko looks conflicted. “I don’t know… I’m tired of being the opening act, Chitose. I know what you mean, but is he worse than any other sports agent? He make stars, Chitose. He knows the business better than anyone. I want to think this is my ticket.”</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Chitose shakes her head and puts a hand on Etsuko’s shoulder. “You are a good person, Etsuko, but I wonder if you are too trusting. He’s a bad influence. His ideas about this sport we love… I would hate to see them rub off on you.”</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

“I appreciate the concern my friend, I really do. But don’t worry. I’m an adult. I can take care of myself.” </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

As the conversation ebbs out, the camera sweeps once more over the room, with Etsuko turning to lacing up her wrestling boots while the discussion between Maria and Boss Man has turned animated, Boss Man laying out the words, while Chitose gazes over the disparate group with a concerned look.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

</div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Main Event: Kitsune Warriors vs The Untouchables © for the QAW Tag Team Titles</strong></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

A taped up Chitose is still able to put up a great performance, allowing her team to stay in a match that flowed back and forth as Taia and Claire seemed determined to create mismatches under the assumption that Claire can handle Chitose for shorter periods of time, but if Talia gets her hands on Etsuko, it's over. Eventually the match is decided when Boss Man Brayfield tried to interfere by holding Claire Winters by the ropes, but the whole thing backfired as Chitose in position to exploit his interference simply refused to use the illegaly gained advantage and the referee got into a heated discussion with Brayfield, eventually ejecting him. Meanwhile, Claire and Talia took the opportunity to double team Chitose, putting her out of commission, resulting in the mismatch the Untouchables had been looking for all along. That was more than Etsuko could handle, and with a Spinal Trauma, Talia put an end to the match.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

That’s good enough for upper midcard, but not main event. Thing is, I’m not sure if it’s just that I have a slightly worse Killer Kass in my game, or if it is that I’m booking her weak/wrong and not getting the most out of her. Might be a combination.

kingjames · April 19, 2017

<p>If I may cut a heel promo here, I'm going to say MrWolf's victory due to my lack of a tiebreaker might as well have been the equivalent of an Ironman match ending in a tie, and then the face challenger gets an extra "sudden death overtime" period and wins. Collusion! I demand a rematch!</p><p> </p><p>

All right, got that out of my system. In other words? MrWolf101! We comin' for <strong>you</strong>, um...you know what, never mind.</p><p> </p><p>

Onto Army of One, Week 3!</p><p> </p><p>

Dark Match: Águila Azul Celeste vs <strong>Maria Guest /w Boss Man Brayfield</strong> vs Lily Snyder 3-way match</p><p>

<em>Gotta test how a solo Maria/Brayfield run would go, right? Wouldn't be surprised to see a Snyder victory to keep her at neutral momentum, but I'll go with the hottest storyline of the bunch here.</em></p><p> </p><p>

Opening Match: <strong>Paige Croft & Thea Davis</strong> vs Jaguar Clan (Jaguar Queen & Purple Viper)</p><p>

<em>Perhaps this is where Croft finds her way out of her rut - given her physical disadvantages, a tag team might be a place for her to excel.</em></p><p> </p><p>

Match 2: <strong>Juana Huracán</strong> vs Brooke Tyler Shockwave Contender Match</p><p>

<b>Dark Match: Águila Azul Celeste vs Maria Guest /w Boss Man Brayfield vs Lily Snyder</b>

The three put on a decent pre-show match which ends as Maria Guest gets Águila Azul Celeste in a Figure Four Leglock. Lily Snyder rushes to get into the ring to break up the hold, but is tripped up by Boss Man, and the Blue Eagle taps out. As Lily Snyder is upset with Boss Man Maria makes sure to insert herself between them. It’s hard to say if she saw what made Lily so angry, but if she did, she’s not showing it.

Alfonso Garcia is about to present the participants in the opening match when the lights go out, the giant video screen blinks to life, and we see Dharma Gregg in a dark room facing the camera, the room lit up by a single spotlight. Flanking her are Killer Kass, Cherry Bomb and Spectre, arms folded over their chests, looking tough.

“QAW. You thought you could get rid of Dharma Gregg just like that? Getting rid of me was the worst decision this wretched company ever made. Fortunately, for me, I mean, for QAW, there are more level headed business people here that are ready to save this company. Don’t think of this takeover as hostile. It could be a bloodless revolution, but I don’t expect your idiot lapdogs to bow down so easily, so yeah, there will be blood as Bad Girls Inc takes charge. QAW, you have been put on notice.”

<b>Grace:</b> I think your petty dislike for our former general manager is clouding your view of our great former leader. Jealousy doesn’t suit you, Farrah, just like those trousers you’re wearing.

<b>Alfonso Garcia:</b> Ladies, can you get any more off topic? We have a very interesting tag team match coming up.

<b>Farrah:</b> It seems Paige and Thea found each other in the Queens of the Ring tournament, as odd a couple as they may seem. Of course, Purple Viper is a member of the Jaguar clan that Jaguar Queen leads. ...I can’t believe you just said that, Grace.

<b>Grace:</b> What, I didn’t… oh, I did, didn’t I?

<b>Opening Match: Paige Croft & Thea Davis vs Purple Viper & Jaguar Queen</b>

In a match where everyone got their moment to shine, Jaguar Queen finds it hard to keep up, in particular with Paige Croft who is putting up a clinic, but it is Thea Davis that ultimately picks up a rare pinfall after hitting the Jaguar Queen with a Flying Elbow Drop. Afterwards there’s a bit of a staredown between Purple Viper and Paige Croft, the Viper clearly not happy about the outcome.

<b>Grace Harper:</b> I must confess, that was a much better match than I could have hoped for.

<b>Alfonso Garcia:</b> And promising more. I expect we will see Paige Croft and Purple Viper cross paths again. Moving on, two submission specialists go up against each other for a shot at the Shockwave title. The technical wizard Brooke Tyler versus the MMA takedown expert Juana Huracán.

Hannah looks troubled. “I hear you, it’s not like I *don’t* want to give you that rematch, but Cherry is difficult, and the schedule is getting full… but let me see what I can do.” She starts rifling through a calendar, but is almost immediately interrupted as Spectre appears, looking over Potter’s shoulder, and Dharma Gregg is right there with her.

Spectre does a small pantomime, and when Hannah (and Pamela) mostly looks confused, Dharma explains. “She says not to bother the queen with a peasant’s complaints. That she’s not worthy of Cherry Bomb’s attention. If she wants a match with the champion, go through her first.”

Hannah looks like she’s about to protest, but Pamela’s eyes narrow and she puts a hand on Hannah’s shoulder. “It’s alright. If that’s a challenge, I accept it. I want to see what this Spectre amounts to in the ring.”

As the two stare down, the camera fades out.

<b>Match 3: Pamela Rojo vs Spectre</b>

As the match starts with lots of technical mat wrestling Spectre keeps coming out on top, locking up Rojo in a headlock or an armbar, but once Pamela manages to get the match to turn into an exchange of punches and throws, she starts to take control of the match. The turnaround happens literally out of nowhere - Spectre opportunistically covers Rojo in a rana, but when Pamela kicks out, Spectre transitions into a leglock. After a long agonizing struggle where Pamela goes for the ropes but Spectre drags her back into the center of the ring, Pamela taps.

<b>Match 4: Teresa Perez & The Birds of Prey vs Ronin 3</b>

In a high paced match filled with spots, the two sides go back and forth, but it is the moments when the two Queen of the Ring tournament finalists suddenly find themselves face to face in the ring that the match really heats up. Jarvis is putting in a strong performance, but Higa is the one to really shine, which might be why Jarvis takes the opportunity to throw Higa out of the ring to her waiting team mates. Charity rips a monitor from the announce table and knocks Higa out cold with it, then Deborah slams her through the announce table before Higa’s team mates come to the rescue and stop the beatdown.

<b>Higa wins by disqualification in 18:03</b>

<b>Match Rating: C+</b></p>

Teresa and Gemmei look ready for a fight, and so does Deborah and Charity, but Jillian looks satisfied that her Queen of the Ring rival is layed out and backs away.

“Come on Kass, let me join your stable we are like cut from the same cloth you and me. You are all about the money. *I* am all about the money. And we’re not getting the recognition we deserve from the people in charge around here.”

Kass seems luke warm on Maribel’s whole spiel, but doesn’t say much, which Maribel takes as tacit approval and is about to continue when they walk past an open door to a locker room where Capitano is standing by a locker, unpacking a bag.

Maribel taps Kass on the shoulder. “Oh, you don’t like her, right? This is how I’ll deal with your enemies. Watch this,” she whispers, sneaks up on Capitano and slams her head first into the locker.

<img src="

alt="Foxxy LaRue" />

She continues beating up Capitano, and Kass shrugs as if she doesn’t have anything better to do and joins in. Capitano is thrown around like a rag doll, and eventually they spill out in the corridor, right in front of Foxxy LaRue who seems to have been just passing by. Seeing Capitano being beaten up two on one, she lays into them turning it into a more two-sided brawl that goes on until Hannah Potter shows up with a bunch of security staff.

<img src="

alt="Hannah Potter" />

“Woah, woah, woah! What’s with all the backstage fighting? Leave that for the ring. It’s what people pay to see.” Hannah pauses, looks at the involved parties. “In fact, I wonder if there aren’t some who would like to see this particular fight happen...yes… Ok, it is decided! Tonights main event will be Foxxy LaRue and Capitano finally reunited, taking on Killer Kass and Maribel Mercado!” Hannah looks so pleased with herself that she claps her hands in excitement. Foxxy and Capitano just stares at her.

Foxxy is the first to say something. She points at Capitano. “Look, just because I don’t like to see defenseless people being beaten up, doesn’t mean I want to tag team with them, ok? Particularly not with her.”

Capitano slowly gets up on her feet. “Yeah, I’m not thrilled either. But I have never said no thanks to a main event match in my life and I’m not going to start now.” Capitano holds out her hand for a handshake.

Foxxy looks at her for the longest time, then while leaving Capitano hanging without accepting the handskahe, she turns to Hannah Potter. “Fine. But for the record, this is a terrible idea.”

<b>Match 6: Laura Flame vs Cherry Bomb © for the Shockwave Title</b>

Keeping up the streak of really good wrestling matches, Laura and Cherry puts up a match that becomes the story of the modern against the traditional, Cherry’s still harkening back to old-school, hard hitting wrestling where Laura looks like the future, with a high paced kick-based style. Here, old wisdom eventually beats youth as Laura’s springboard dropkick is countered into the most devastating backbreaker, and follows up with Cherry Bomb to seal the deal. Even so, the three count is barely complete when Laura raises a shoulder, more on instinct than anything else, not really aware that the match is over.

<b>Cherry Bomb wins by pinfall in 16:01</b>

<b>Main Event: Capitano & Foxxy LaRue vs Killer Kass & Maribel Mercado</b>

From the start of the match, Killer Kass runs roughshod over her opponents who sometimes double team Kass and still look light weight, but as the match goes on they wear her out, and Capitano and Foxxy start taking over the match, which at times verge on slap stick as Foxxy and Capitano are visibly unhappy about having to work together, almost coming to blows in the middle of the ring but at the same time showing team work that borders on the supernatural as Maribel tries to capitalize on their arguing, only to be hit by a stunner literally out of nowhere as Foxxy seems to see the attacker in Capitano’s eyes all the while keeping the argument going. A quick tag, a springboard 450, and Capitano has Maribel pinned for the three count.

<b>Capitano wins by pinfall in 11:24</b>

<b>Match Rating: C+ (70)</b></p>

As the bell calls the end of the match, Killer Kass’ has an expression on her face that is difficult to read - having her low expectations met perhaps - but she quickly jumps down to the floor from the ring apron and leaves Maribel on her own laid out in the middle of the ring while Capitano and Foxxy celebrates - more or less each by themselves.

<b>Alphonso Garcia:</b> And there we have it, Scars and Stripes is over. In two days we have the big night. At Crowning the Queen we are having the first Hall of Fame induction in two years. We have a World title match where Chitose Ariwara is defending her World title against Talia Quinzel, we will see the Jaguar Clan challenge the Franchise Players for the Shockwave Trios titles. And of course, we will see the Queen of the Ring get crowned. Higa is in her first big title match in QAW, and she is up against what might be the worst possible opponent, the psychotic ring leader of Ronin 3, three time world champion, Jillian Jarvis.

<b>Dark Match: Águila Azul Celeste vs Maria Guest /w Boss Man Brayfield vs Lily Snyder</b>

There was a legitimate reason to have Lily Snyder win, but having Boss Man in her corner tipped it to Maria’s favor.

Having Synder in this makes it a tough call, but I feel like Maria is on the upswing now, and out of the three in this match, she has the most to offer you in the long-term.

Gotta test how a solo Maria/Brayfield run would go, right? Wouldn't be surprised to see a Snyder victory to keep her at neutral momentum, but I'll go with the hottest storyline of the bunch here.

That was basically the choice. Snyder could really use the win to remind of her “semi-monster” status, or push the hotter storyline. It seems Maria has waited seemingly forever for anything resembling a push, and this seemed like the time to at least nudge her in the right direction.

<b>Opening match: Paige Croft & Thea Davis vs Purple Viper & Jaguar Queen</b>

Testing out some new pairings. I can see Paige and Thea becoming a thing, and same thing for Jaguar Queen and Purple Viper really, being part of the same faction. Also, giving Thea a chance for a clean pin was something I couldn’t resist.

Perhaps this is where Croft finds her way out of her rut - given her physical disadvantages, a tag team might be a place for her to excel.

Yeah, this is not the last time we see Paige and Thea work together. Thea’s size makes up for Paige’s lack thereof.

Wow. I thought this was going to be easy to pick until I saw Purple Viper in the match. That said, I think Thea > Jaguar Queen, so I'll go with her and Paige, the latter needing a win after losing at the last show as well.

Yeah, Purple Viper could also have used the win. This is the curse of QAW 50/50 booking, even good workers can start slipping down the card for no fault of their own. This match had a shoot story which I didn’t make any use of, in that Paige absolutely detests Purple Viper. I’m not making anything of it as long as it doesn’t cause any actual problems, but I’m sure if I had reversed the booking, I would have heard about it.

<b>Match 2: Juana Huracán vs Brooke Tyler for a Shockwave Title shot</b>

Here I could really have gone either way, Juana is great and Brooke is shaping up to be. But for the story I wanted to tell, Brooke felt a little more fitting. Remind me that Juana deserves a push. She’s shaping up to be the Cesaro of QAW.

Tyler doesn't seem to be getting it done. Let's give the title shot to someone who's up and coming, and can make the most of the opportunity.

I think Brooke is coming along. A little slowly, but getting there.

Not that you would shy away from Tyler vs Cherry Bomb, but Huracán vs Cherry could lead to a nice string of matches without needing Brooke to do the job in a feud.

Yeah, would have made sense for sure. But I have a plan.

<b>Match 3: Pamela Rojo vs Spectre</b>

It hurt a little to have Pamela take this fall, accusations that I’m burying Pamela Rojo are warranted and I feel bad about it. But Spectre need to be established as legitimate as soon as possible.

An early DQ loss doesn't necessarily hurt the Spectre, but losing twice in a row would seem to tarnish someone who's a cornerstone of a new storyline. I think Spectre gets the opportunity to show just how vicious she is, to elevate her threat level.

Yeah, I pretty much had to give Spectre a win here, or I’d completely shoot myself in the foot. Unfortunately the fans hasn’t really taken to her gimmick, so her push is seeing a bit of resistance, so I might have to move a little more patiently.

Very tough. Does Spectre benefit from another loss? Are there long term plans for Rojo that would lead to her being protected here? Based off of the last show, I'm saying the answer is no to both questions. While I wouldn't be surprised at Pamela winning this one, I feel like Spectre needs to be established here with a victory. This also probably signals that my Karen Billious pick is probably wrong.

No comment on Karen.

I’m still not sure this was the right booking. Spectre needed the win, but maybe the cost to Pamela was too great. She’ll have to take a step back, regroup and come back later.

<b>Match 4: Teresa Perez & The Birds of Prey vs Ronin 3 - by DQ</b>

You’d figure one day the babyfaces will figure out that these pre-title match exhibition tag matches are a bad idea?

I see Higa winning the tourney, so I think Perez is there to lose and make Jarvis look like a massive threat, so Higa's victory is even more impressive.

A little problematic that I don’t really want to make anyone on that team look weak, so here we go, a DQ finish.

I sense more descension within the ranks of Ronin 3. That, and I don't see a rematch between them and the Franchise Players as being big money. On the other hand, the Pacific Strike Exchange (best I could come up with at this point for Perez and BoP) vs the champions is a match I'd pay to see.

Well, as I mentioned, I gave a bit false premises for this match as it wasn’t a top contender match. No title shot on the line. However, you got to the right conclusion anyway, so no harm. I think any split in Ronin 3 is a possible angle I might pursue down the line, but for now I see it as part of their faction culture that they can stand up to each other.

<b>Match 5: Laura Flame vs Cherry Bomb</b>

I should probably have given this match a little more build up, playing up how Cherry was part of sending Laura out of Bad Girls Club, but it was a promo that got lost in the shuffle. I believe this was a case of losing your way up the card though for Laura. She pushed Cherry in this match.

Flame is going to be a champion at some point. But I don't know that you want to job out Cherry Bomb just yet. Flame looks good in a loss, is my guess.

I like the push Laura is getting, but putting up a tough fight against Cherry Bomb and losing would do just as much for her winning this match. I also don't see Cherry being willing to lose this one either.

Yeah, I see Cherry as a gatekeeper at this point, but she’s not letting just anyone past her. Having Laura go a - nearly - even match against Cherry Bomb signals that she is moving up in the rankings. In popularity, she has shot past a lot of midcarders, even some upper midcarders.

<b>Main Event: Capitano & Foxxy LaRue vs Killer Kass & Maribel Mercado</b>

For me, Capitano and Foxxy teaming up is a little bit like if Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn formed a tag team (after a K.O face turn, naturally). It just seems so inconceivable, but at the same time something I think people would lose their shit over when it happened. I realize it is due to a game history only I have been part of, but hey.

Mercado seems to be there in order to eat a loss, and not make Kass look any weaker than she does at this point. What will be interesting is how Kass would take a loss - Kass doesn't seem the forgiving kind.

A little transparent, huh?

To be fair, I hope this starts a little storyline for Maribel, if I can remember to keep it going. For that, Kass’ reaction couldn’t be too violent. More disappointment. It was probably fortunate for Maribel that not a whole lot was at stake.

Two stars are bigger than one. I think Kass is on the downslope for now, and both Foxxy and Capitano could do with a big main event win (I feel like it's been awhile for both).

I had to look back, and you are quite right. While Foxxy had some wins right after Contender’s Crown, she has been on a losing streak lately. And Capitano... let’s not talk about her match results lately.

So yeah, let’s hope they have hit bottom and are starting to climb their way back up?

MrWolf101 · April 25, 2017

<p>Great show as always, Dr_Avalanche. Crowning Glory is setting up to be great, and I can't wait to see what happens.</p><p> </p><p>

On the poll you had, I voted for the title match to main event, but I can see both sides. You want the tournament to be a big deal, but the World title is also a big deal. I'm still expecting Talia vs Chitose to steal the show.</p><p> </p><p>

On the Perez/Birds of Prey win, I probably would have stuck with that any way, Perez-mark that I am. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p>

Opening Match: <strong>Charity Sweet </strong>vs Killer Kass</p><p>

<em>Being the season finale, I say this is a launching pad for Charity's big year to come, while you deemphasis Kass. Man, was I wrong on the tournament winner. </em><img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/biggrin.png.929299b4c121f473b0026f3d6e74d189.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p>

Match 2: Etsuko Arihyoshi /w Boss Man Brayfield vs Maria Guest /w Boss Man Brayfield vs <strong>Claire Winters</strong> for a Shockwave Title shot</p><p>

<em>Sooooo...wow. I'm thinking Claire deserves some award for the great matches the Untouchables have been putting on, while this is probably the beginning of a feud between Maria and Etsuko. I could see either one of them winning, but I'll go with Winters so that feud can start without involving Cherry.</em></p><p>

Match 3: Inaugural Battle Royal for the Miss Mexico Trophy </p><p>

Winner: <strong>Teresa Perez</strong></p><p>

<em>Perez has red hair. Miss Mexico has red hair. Yes, that is the logic I am going with. </em><img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/wink.png.686f06e511ee1fbf6bdc7d82f6831e53.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p>

<em>Cherry for all the belts! </em><img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/tongue.png.ceb643b2956793497cef30b0e944be28.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><em> I am not sure Cherry would agree to lose this, and I'm sure you want to continue building Spectre. That said, Cherry probably will have her hands full elsewhere, while the Talia and Claire vs Foxxy and Laura seems like a nice feud to kick off the new season with.</em></p><p>

Match 5: Jaguar Clan (Águila Azul Celeste, Juana Huracán & Pamela Rojo) vs <strong>The Franchise Players (Brooke Tyler, Ava Anderson & Lily Snyder)</strong> © for the Shockwave Trios titles</p><p>

<em>No one from the Jaguar Clan team screams out to me that they need the win, while I think it will also be a big year for Brooke.</em></p><p>

Match 6: <strong>Chitose Ariwara © </strong>vs Talia Quinzel for the World title</p><p>

<em>Could I see the title changing hands? Yes. But Chitose has still got a long way to go for you in this top babyface champion arc, so I'll say a hard fought victory for Ariwara.</em></p><p>

Main Event: Higa vs <strong>Jillian Jarvis</strong> Queen of the Ring final</p><p>

<em>Wow, so difficult. I changed my mind about five different times here. Jarvis having backup in the form of Ronin 3 is what puts her over the top for me, though I could see that back firing to cost her the match. Ah, I can't decide! </em><img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/tongue.png.ceb643b2956793497cef30b0e944be28.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p>

Bonus Questions:</p><p> </p><p>

Who holds the induction speech for Miss Mexico? <em>How awesome would it be for this to be Joanne Rodriguez? That would play off their CZCW feud, but I'm thinking you weren't able to get a working agreement with USPW (assuming that's where J-Ro is) to have her appear. Instead, I'll stay with CZCW, and say </em><em><strong>Cliff Anderson</strong></em><em>.</em></p><p>

Two titles are up for grab at Crowning the Queen.

Who gets the most eliminations in the Battle Royal? <strong>Deborah Young</strong> is the biggest one in the match, so seems like a good choice.</p><p>

Which is the match of the night? <em>Got to be </em><em><strong>Chitose vs Talia</strong></em><em>. I know that's the one I can't wait to read.</em></p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

Tie Breaker: What’s the attendance? (Last time at Ranch of San Antonio drew 9,121.) Eh, a nice round <strong>9,200</strong> seems like a good choice.</p>

DarK_RaideR · April 26, 2017

Might as well exit stalker mode and make my appearance known...

Opening Match: Charity Sweet vs Killer Kass

You've voiced your disappointment in Kass and this is how she's pushed down the card while using her to take Charity forward.

Match 2: Etsuko Arihyoshi /w Boss Man Brayfield vs Maria Guest /w Boss Man Brayfield vs Claire Winters for a Shockwave Title shot

Two girls under the same manager smells fishy, especially when they're not teaming up on a regular basis. I can see Claire stealing this one thanks to the other two ladies' infighting

Match 3: Inaugural Battle Royal for the Miss Mexico Trophy

Is Pamela Rojo in this too? Because if yes, i'd love to see her win it

Match 4: Bad Girls (Foxxy LaRue & Laura Flame) vs Cherry Bomb & Spectre Tag Team Top Contender match

Cherry and Spectre have other things to do. Bad Girls got this one.

Match 5: Jaguar Clan (Águila Azul Celeste, Juana Huracán & Pamela Rojo) vs The Franchise Players (Brooke Tyler, Ava Anderson & Lily Snyder) © for the Shockwave Trios titles

Much as I love Rojo, this isn't her chance to bounce back. The other two are nothing special as partners and the reigning champions are in for an extension of their reign

Match 6: Chitose Ariwara © vs Talia Quinzel for the World title

Don't feel like it's time for Chitose to lose the title just yet. If it's not a hard fought victory, it's a cheap one for Talia so Chitose can retain.

Main Event: Higa vs Jillian Jarvis Queen of the Ring final

*Higa Section*

Bonus Questions:

Who holds the induction speech for Miss Mexico? Madame Bat O_o

Two titles are up for grab at Crowning the Queen. How many title changes? Zero

Who gets the most eliminations in the Battle Royal? Deborah Young

Beside the winner, who are the three stars that make up the final four of the Battle Royal? Capitano, Deborah Young, Maribel Mercado

Which is the match of the night? Hi-ga! Hi-ga! Hi-ga!

Tie Breaker: What’s the attendance? (Last time at Ranch of San Antonio drew 9,121.) 9.200 sounds about right

She's not, unless there are extra surprise entries...

kingjames · April 26, 2017

Opening Match: Charity Sweet vs Killer Kass

I know Kass hasn't been getting over the way that you'd wanted, but I can't see you sacrificing Kass to Charity Sweet. Maybe a DQ victory for Sweet, but I have to think you're going to want to keep Kass strong.

Match 2: Etsuko Arihyoshi /w Boss Man Brayfield vs Maria Guest /w Boss Man Brayfield vs Claire Winters for a Shockwave Title shot

I think this is where you pull the turn. The Gambler decides Guest is more "ethically flexible" than Arihyoshi is, and we set up an Arihyoshi/Guest program in the midcard.

Match 3: Inaugural Battle Royal for the Miss Mexico Trophy

I think Paige Croft finds a bit of redemption here, despite her size making her a most unlikely candidate for a battle royal victory.

Match 4: Bad Girls (Foxxy LaRue & Laura Flame) vs Cherry Bomb & Spectre Tag Team Top Contender match

I think the heels manage to take this one, all part of a larger program.

Match 5: Jaguar Clan (Águila Azul Celeste, Juana Huracán & Pamela Rojo) vs The Franchise Players (Brooke Tyler, Ava Anderson & Lily Snyder) © for the Shockwave Trios titles

The Jaguar Clan doesn't really seem to be going anywhere at present. I agree with Wolf, in that Tyler seems like she's going to be a big player soon. With that said, I wouldn't be hugely surprised if the Jaguar Clan took the Trios titles, so that Brooke could branch out on her own. But I don't think that's ready yet, so I'll go with a Franchise Players victory.

Match 6: Chitose Ariwara © vs Talia Quinzel for the World title

Quinzel's really ascended, hasn't she? That said, since this isn't the main event, it seems possible this match is to give an up-and-comer a good showing against one of your top names. Legitimizes Quinzel, but Ariwara keeps the belt and gets the clean victory.

Main Event: Higa vs Jillian Jarvis Queen of the Ring final

A classic face/heel battle here. Jarvis seems more willing to play ball, in terms of taking a loss, so I think Jarvis does the job for Higa.

Bonus Questions:

Who holds the induction speech for Miss Mexico?

I'm thinking it's the boss lady and founder of QAW, Farrah Heskath. With Mexico being a QAW original, Heskath doing it herself would seem to be coming full circle.

Two titles are up for grab at Crowning the Queen. How many title changes?

Zero is my guess once again. This is a huge show, but I don't see titles changing just to change. I won't be surprised if one title changes, though.

Who gets the most eliminations in the Battle Royal?

Deborah Young puts Ronin 3 over strong, but like most people who have the most eliminations, she's not in the final four.

Beside the winner, who are the three stars that make up the final four of the Battle Royal?

Cappy, Deborah Young, Maribel Mercato

Which is the match of the night?

I think it's going to be Higa vs. Jarvis, which will show you made the right decision about which match should be the main event.

Tie Breaker: What’s the attendance? (Last time at Ranch of San Antonio drew 9,121.) The economy is in the dumps, if I remember. So a slight uptick - 9,141

We open with a shot of Killer Kass standing by the entrance to the Ranch of San Antonio. She’s studying the event poster, with Jillian Jarvis and Higa headlining the event. She’s muttering to herself, working herself up. </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

“That. Should. Have. Been. Me! I would had a clear path to the World title.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Finally she snaps and punches the poster, breaking the glass it’s sitting behind.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

After the glass falls to the ground it becomes quiet, until a voice can be heard from behind her.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

“You sound like you assume you would just walk over Jillian? You are just big. And dumb. There is no way you could even touch the empress of QAW.” Charity Sweet is standing a few steps behind Kass, hand on her hip. “You’re loud, and make a lot of loud claims, but then what happens? Ronin 3 stand tall. Remember the battle royal? Who was victorious? A reminder: It wasn’t you, because Jillian took you out. And who won? *I* did.” She smiles her sweetest smile.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Kass turns around, and grabs Charity by the throat. “Twerp. I’ll take you on anytime, anywhere. You just show up, and you’ll get the beating of your life.” </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

With a scoff, she throws Charity to the ground and storms off.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

To a rousing score, we cut to a banquet hall where the camera pans across rows of familiar faces, QAW wrestler after QAW wrestler dressed to the nines in gala dresses and fancy hairdos you’d never seen them wear into the ring.

Teresa is interrupted mid-sentence by a loud crash, a couple of rock beats, and NOTBPW stars Melody and Lauren Easter saunters out on stage, almost like they weren’t aware where they are. Both dressed more for a rock club in leather pants, Lauren wearing a large pair of mirror shades, Melody with crooked top hat on her head that she might have stolen off Slash, and a big cigar in the corner of her mouth. Hot like hell, but more than a little drunk too. Melody has a half dressed man looking like a Chippendale dancer in tow doting on her, but when she starts realizing where she is, and the entire audience staring on them, she shoos him off stage.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Melody looks out over the gathered people through squinting eyes. She looks like she’s been partying for the last 36 hours.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

“Lauren… I’m SURE you told me there was going to be a party around here somewhere. We must have taken a wrong turn somewhere. This looks more like the annual insurance salesmen’s ball.” </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

“I told you. It’s the Hall of Fame induction of Miss Mexico.” Lauren does seem to be considerably more sober than Melody, even if they seem to be coming from the same nightclub.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

“Miss Mexico? I’m not in the QAW Hall of Fame. Why are they inducting Miss Mexico?”</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

“Well....were you the first QAW World champion?”</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Melody thinks for a long time, before coming to a conclusion. “No, I was not!”</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

“And how many times were you World champion during your time in the company?” Lauren asks.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Again, Melody has to think for a while. “I was NEVER champion in QAW!” She beams, satisfied that she got it right.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

“So maybe Miss Mexico is the better choice then?” Lauren ventures. “After all, not only was she the very first World champion in QAW history, she had one of the longest runs in company history as champion. Not to speak of her value in the locker room. All the experience she has passed on to the professional wrestlers that has made up this company.”</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

“I did not learn ANYTHING!” Melody states proudly.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Lauren looks doubtful. “At the very least she taught you the taste of her boot.”</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Melody looks like some painful memories just came rushing back. “Oooh, yeah. Locker room rules. I figured they were more like guidelines, not you know, *actual* rules. Was THAT ever an eye opener that someone was enforcing them!”</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Lauren looks straight at the crowd. “Let’s be frank for a moment. For most of QAW’s history, Melody and I has spent our time in Canada. When our contracts with NOTBPW ran out in 2017 we were deemed surplus to requirement. We found a home in QAW, and under the best damn trainer this wrestling industry has seen, QAW allowed us to show the big dragons what we really could do when the leash was off, and less than a year later, NOTBPW came begging on their knees for us to come back. I credit Miss Mexico for where I am today, and I think Melody in her heart does the same. The QAW Hall of Fame class of 2018 is small, but as far as I’m concerned, it might be the best there ever will be. I can’t be any prouder to introduce to you ...MISS MEXICO!”</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Miss Mexico make her entrance to standing ovation, the first thing she does as she walks on stage is to grab Melody by the ear, but can’t maintain the charade for long and it turns into a big hug instead which Lauren Easter gets in on as well.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

In the broadcast, the actual speech is cut into a few highlights, including a heartfelt dedication to Farrah Hesketh for putting her faith in Miss Mexico, to Joanne Rodriguez who took the same step Miss Mexico did from CZCW back in the days, giving her the courage to put her chips in with a brand new company, “the best decision she ever made”, how she used to be the big sister in the locker room, but now that she has taken on a different role in the company has become the mom instead. </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

And how she, well into the speech is interrupted by Melody who looks like she just realized something. </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

“Wait. I was never QAW World champion?” She theatre whispers to Lauren “Who’s champion now?” Having Chitose Ariwara pointed out, Melody grabs the microphone from Miss Mexico and looks straight at the World champion. “Sorry, this will only take a moment,” she says to Miss Mexico, then turns straight to Chitose who is sitting in the front row.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

"Hey, you. Nice dress, champ. I hear you have a belt that really doesn’t matches, but I think it would look great on me, so maybe we could do something about that, yeah? I understand you have a dance tonight, but if that doesn’t pan out, can I ask for the next? I assure you, I’m not like any dance partner you have seen. I promise, it will be a blast.” Melody suddenly looks animated, something wild in her eyes, and it seems Chitose can sense it too as she stands up, and the stare down continues until we cut back from the recap of the Hall of Fame event earlier.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

<b>Farrah Hesketh:</b> Is it possible Melody is returning to QAW? That would be something, but as far as I know, she’s still under contract with NOTBPW. It is true she never held the World title, but she was in some of the best matches in QAW history. Fans would go crazy. </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

<b>Opening Match: Charity Sweet /w Vinny Cruz vs Killer Kass</b></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Having a big opponent allows Charity to really showcase some of her high flying moves, but it also puts her in danger, and there are times when Kass simply picks her out of the air and slams her into the mat. The match doesn’t last long, and a Kill Switch spells the end.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Match over, and Kass is not done with Charity. She drags her out of the ring by her hair, slams her into the ring apron, the ring post and the ring stairs, until Charity’s manager and boyfriend tries to intervene, only to be power bombed through the announce table. Kass snarls, but the intervention seems to have made her forget about Charity, and she stomps up the ramp.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

We cut to backstage. Maria Guest and Etsuko Arihyoshi are in a locker room when Boss Man Brayfield barges in.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

“This new general manager we have is *great*. I have fantastic news! Etsuko, you are getting a Shockwave contender match tonight! I told you, I’m getting you the big matches! And even better, Maria is in the match as well!” Boss Man beams.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Etsuko and Maria looks at each other, suddenly sizing each other up.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

“It is a three-way match. The third participant is going to be Claire Winters. She’s strong, but you are friends, right? So team up and take her out and one of you will have a chance to become the new Shockwave champion!” Boss Man looks eminently pleased with himself.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

The two women give each other a long look, then shake hands. Maria nods to the door. “I’ll go and prepare for the match on my own. Good luck,” and she turns to leave the room.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Seeing Maria leave, Boss Man excuses himself to Etsuko. “I just need to share a few words with Maria.I’ll see you in a couple of minutes.”</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

<b>Match 2: Etsuko Arihyoshi /w Boss Man Brayfield vs Maria Guest /w Boss Man Brayfield vs Claire Winters for a Shockwave Title shot</b></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

The match goes much like Boss Man suggested - Etsuko and Maria double teaming Claire. Together they are able to dominate the more powerful opponent, leading up to the moment Boss Man had talked about, letting the two battle it out between themselves in the ring. </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

They get into a chain wrestling duel, Maria irish whips Etsuko toward the ropes - and Boss Man is up on the apron, holding Etsuko up against the ropes, and yells at Maria. “Now! Now! Take the chance she wouldn’t!”</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Maria seems to hesitate, lines up a super kick, but Etsuko manages to get out of Boss Man’s grip. Maria has not released her kick, but with Boss Man in front of her, her eyes narrow, and she super kicks him off the ring apron, tumbling to the floor. </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Behind her, Claire has recovered and lines up a big boot, knocking Maria clean out, only to have Etsuko roll her up in a school girl pin, only to transition into the Arihyoshi Lockdown. Claire doesn’t want to give up, holding out for the longest time in hope that Maria will come and break up the submission, but practically crying with pain, she finally taps.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

<b>Etsuko Arihyoshi wins by submission in 9:30</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

As Etsuko’s hand is raised, Maria returns to the ring. Etsuko looks at her with an uncertain look, but Maria just gives her a big hug and raises Etsuko’s hand in the air. As Boss Man slowly gets to down on the floor, being attended to by some of the venue staff, Maria and Etsuko look down at him from the ring. Maria’s eyes, fixated on Boss Man, are burning.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

“You really thought I would take that poisonous offer of yours? Betray a friend, for vague promises of gold and glory? Tell you what. What you had to offer sounded great, but I’ve been taught that if an offer sounds too good to be true, it probably is. What would stop you from throwing me away the same way when I didn’t like your crooked methods? Get the hell out of here, you snake-oil selling charlatan! You don’t deserve to work with someone like Etsuko.”</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Boss Man looks physically broken as he gets to his feet, and it looks like he’s going to say something in retort, but in the end he just waves dismissively and halts out.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

<b>Match 3: Battle Royal, featuring: Capitano, Gemmei Oonishi, Paige Croft, Teresa Perez, Thea Davis, Deborah Young, Jaguar Queen, Maribel Mercado, Purple Viper and Raquel Alvarado</b> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Paige Croft gets the biggest reaction as she walks down the ramp to the ring, but Capitano and Teresa Perez are not far behind in popularity. The match itself is a spotfest, but eminently well executed where most everyone gets a chance to execute a signature move or two before getting eliminated. </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

The number of Jaguar clan members in the ring make the rest form a temporary alliance, and Jaguar Queen is first over the rope, soon followed by Raquel Alvarado, both primarily tossed over the ropes by Deborah Young, with some assistance from some strange bedfellows before the alliance cracks up as Deborah turns on first Teresa Perez who is clotheslined over the ropes, and then Gemmei Oonishi, except she skins the cat, saving herself without Deborah noticing. It is Gemmei then who springboard drop kicks Deborah into the hands of Thea Davis who uses the momentum to lift Deborah for a delayed suplex, staggers over to the ropes and just deposits the hulking Ronin 3 member to the outside.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Through the match there are two stories that run parallel - Purple Viper and Capitano keep locking up and looking to overshadow each other with increasingly dazzling - and risky - moves. At the same time, there’s a miniature triangle drama going on as Maribel Mercado refuse to accept that Paige Croft has moved on from the Princesses of Pain and want to cooperate throughout the battle royal, but matters are brought to a head when Maribel see an opportunity to eliminate Thea Davis if Paige helps out. Instead, a shocked Maribel finds herself being the one eliminated by Paige and Thea.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Soon after instead, Thea is eliminated in a feat of strength from Capitano. Stuck on the top turnbuckle, Capitano looks like she’s going to get superplexed by Thea, but after a bit of tug of war it is Thea that ends up deadlifted off her feet and deposited to the outside.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

That leaves Capitano, Paige Croft, Purple Viper and Gemmei Oonishi standing. Gemmei has been in danger for nearly the entire match, skinning the cat a couple of times, spending a lot of the match on the ring apron rather than in the ring. Just as the crowd starts getting into the idea of an upset, Gemmei gets into an exchange with Purple Viper that after several near misses ends in Purple Viper hitting Gemmei with a back kick, unceremoniously knocking her off the ring apron.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

The last few minutes of the match is fought at a furious pace, not many seconds pass between another body hitting the mat hard. And while Paige looks like a star, showing she’s not just all about the submissions but has an arsenal of scoop slams and snap suplexes that Capitano and Purple Viper gets to have a taste of, but it is Capitano that finds herself the final standing with Purple Viper and Paige laid out before her. As is her nature, that means going to the top turnbuckle. However, before she has time to leap out, Purple Viper has recovered enough to put a stop to whatever Capitano had in mind. She starts climbing up the turnbuckle as well, trading blows the whole way. Viper is trying to knock Capitano off her perch, but Capitano is holding on to Purple Viper, and soon, they are balancing precariously, mostly using each other for balance. It’s at this point Paige recovers and sees what’s going on. At first she seems indecisive, maybe getting her legs back, then she charges the corner, springboards off the top rope, giving Purple Viper an enziguiri that sends both the Viper and Capitano tumbling to the floor.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

While Paige celebrates in the ring, waiting to get the big trophy from Hannah Potter and Miss Mexico, Purple Viper and Capitano are getting in an argument on their way off the stage about who ruined who’s shot at victory.

<b>Match 4: Bad Girls vs Cherry Bomb & Spectre, Tag Team Top Contender Match</b></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

After the spot fest that was the battle royal, the tag team match takes it down a notch. Laura Flame goes into the match wanting revenge on Cherry bomb, but those desires tends to be forgotten when she keeps gettiing stuck in Spectre’s submission holds. Overall though, the team work of Flame and LaRue grinds down their opponents, and when Cherry Bomb 20 minutes into the match eats a double super kick, she has had enough and rolls out of the ring, nursing her chin. Spectre looks surprised when Cherry angrily waves the whole thing off and storms backstage, Spectre following her as referee Eve Lawrence counts them out.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

<b>Match 5: Jaguar Clan vs The Franchise Players for the Shockwave Trios titles</b></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Anderson and Snyder has wrestled together for years, and gradually they and Brooke Tyler are looking more and more like a well oiled machine, highlighted when Águila Azul Celeste stepped in the way of their three-part combo finisher, stunned against the ropes by Ava, into a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker delivered by Brooke Tyler onto Lily Snyder’s knee. Brooke is celebrating even as Lily covers the Blue Eagle for the 1-2-3.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

The themes as she make her entrance are clearly inspired by the Swan Lake, and in this drama, there is no question that Talia is the black swan. The booing of the crowd she does not acknowledge with more than brief looks of disdain as she steps into the ring with her tag team title belt casually slung over her shoulder.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

In contrast, Chitose’s entrance is bathing in white as she makes her appearence at the top of the ramp, title belt around her waist. Her very appearance is enough to get the crowd chanting her name, but the crowd reaction sharply changes as Claire Winters come charging out from the back. Not understanding the warning cries from the crowd at first, Chitose only turns around in time to get a big boot straight in the face, and Claire, probably realizing her window of opportunity isn’t long, drags Chitose back to her feet and delivers a lungblower power bomb before security staff rushes out and drags Claire away. </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Chitose remain prone on the ramp, clutching her midsection in pain. From out back, Hannah Potter come running with a medic in tow. While the medic is checking up on her, Chitose and Hannah have a subdued conversation, it looks like Potter wants to cancel the match, but Chitose shakes her head, not having any of it, instead struggles to her feet, insisting that she’s fine, which she clearly is not.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Chitose is barely inside the ring when Talia insists that referee Dale Kenney need to start the match, and Talia is all over Chitose in an instant, stomping her down into the mat.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Momentum firmly against her, Chitose struggles to get into the match, but she’s quick and agile, and more than once she slips out of Talia’s attempt to deliver the Spinal Trauma and it’s instead Chitose that by playing a bit of possum is able to hit Talia with her patented Victory Roll. Chitose counts along, one, two...but Talia kicks out, tossing Chitose to the side who looks shocked that her finisher would not be enough to put Talia away. </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

It looks as though the match has evened out, Chitose getting in some good offense with hurricanranas and missile drop kicks, but the perceptive viewer can see how she’s little by little losing steam - maybe because that attack before the match even started, maybe because she does not have the same stamina Talia has, maybe because there is simply a little more oomph to the many and varied attacks Talia delivers. A lariat against the ropes, an irish whip across the ring right into a spinebuster, and before Chitose has any chance to recover, Talia lifts Chitose up for the Spinal Trauma. Chitose tries to reverse it into another Victory roll but Talia is prepared, holds firm and delivers the Spinal Trauma and covers Chitose for the pin.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

2…</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Chitose just gets a shoulder off the mat! </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Talia looks shocked, argues with Kenney about the count but for once he stands firm. When Talia goes to drag Chitose to her feet, Chitose surprises her with a schoolgirl rollup, and Talia is so surprised, it’s another near-fall before she kicks out with a stunned look on her face. The next exchange, Talia eats a big running dropkick, Chitose goes up top, waits for Talia to get in position, jumps on top of Talia’s shoulders for the Victory roll, but Talia is prepared, getting Chitose into a one handed electric chair, and the sound of the following driver to the mat is bone crunching. Chitose does not move a finger as Dale Kenney counts one, two, three.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Talia staggers to her feet, seemingly having expended every ounce of energy in the last moments of the match, but finds it in her to taunt the very unhappy crowd, and can’t resist rubbing the belt in Chitose’s face as soon as she gets her hands on it. As she celebrates, she looks more defiant than happy. Spiteful toward the many Chitose fans who are loudly voicing their unhappiness, she seems to feed on their displeasure.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

<b>Alfonso Garcia:</b> After that match, which I think we can put in the record books as an instant classic, let’s catch our breath for a moment and take a look at this video package of how our two Queen of the Ring finalists got to the point where they are tonight.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

The video package presents a perhaps slightly doctored history of Higa’s career in QAW suggesting she was really a ninja all along even if it wasn’t apparent from the beginning. From her debut win against Selina Svelte through her participation in the Contender’s Crown tournament, showing brilliance but ending up with a losing record, and finally her Queen of the Ring wins against Purple Viper and Killer Kass taking her to the final. It is a story of a gifted, sometimes reckless wrestler who for the first time seems to be getting it all together. </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

<img src="</div><a href="http://i.imgur.com/HVIJsmp.jpg" rel="external nofollow"></a><div style="margin-left:25px;"><a href="http://i.imgur.com/HVIJsmp.jpg" rel="external nofollow">http://i.imgur.com/HVIJsmp.jpg"</a></div><a href="http://i.imgur.com/HVIJsmp.jpg" rel="external nofollow"></a><div style="margin-left:25px;"> alt="Jillian Jarvis" /> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Cut to Jillian Jarvis, and it is a different picture. We get clips from her capturing the World title the first time against Danielle Sweetheart, the second time taking it from Foxxy LaRue then a third time from Danielle Sweetheart again and a fourth time from Foxxy LaRue again. After the fourth reign where she lost the title to Zoe Ammis, we see her descend from “generic bad ass heel” into the filthy, psychotic biker she is today. The segment show clips showing with glaring clarity the kind of violence she’s willing to put opponents - and herself through. We get to see her go after Paige Croft’s hurt knee with glee, headbutt fear into Killer Kass with blood flowing down her face, how she has humiliated opponents in the past, dragging Lauren Easter around in a dog collar, bloodied and beaten, hanging her over the edge of the ring, practically having Lauren fight for her life. The impression is clear: You risk both dignity, health, even life when you step into the ring with Jillian Jarvis.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

The video is barely over when a music theme starts playing the QAW universe have not heard before, and Higa appears at the top of the ramp.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

On her way down to the ring, Higa looks so concentrated on the task at hand she barely acknowledges that the audience is there, walking down to the ring with laser focus. It’s only when she has rolled into the ring and is standing there alone that she looks around, taking in the crowds filling the stands, and as though she can’t quite contain all the tension inside her any longer she climbs up a turnbuckle and yells out to the crowd, pure adrenaline pouring out.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

However, she is soon interrupted by the music of Jillian Jarvis, which itself is soon drowned out by the rumbling sound of Harley Davidson engines and a caravan of motorcycles slowly roll into the Ranch, spearheaded by Jillian Jarvis, flanked by Deborah Young and Vinny Cruz. Charity Sweet is notably absent, perhaps because of her match earlier in the evening. Behind them trail nearly two dozen mean looking bikers.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Jarvis gets off her bike and into the ring, and the intimidating gang start gathering in a semi-circle ringside. The environment starts looking extremely hostile, and even the normally so even-keeled Higa starts casting nervous glances to her sides, where some even climb up the ring apron. Referee Erin Lawrence won’t have any of it though, and makes it clear to Jarvis that there won’t be any match with that group looming over them. There’s a bit of a staredown between Lawrence and Jarvis, but Lawrence is not backing down, and Jarvis finally snorts and gestures to Deborah and Vinny to lead the pack out of the arena.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

<b>Main Event: Higa vs Jillian Jarvis for the Queen of the Ring trophy</b></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Initially, Higa seems intent on turning the match into a technical affair, but Jarvis will have nothing of it, and every attempt at grappling is met by fists and elbows. In many ways, it starts looking like Higa is at an advantage, but when it comes to wiley, pure nastiness and toughness, it’s unclear if anyone matches the head honcho of Ronin 3. </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

The fight goes in bursts - they trade suplexes and DDTs, almost knocking each other out, the match slows down for a moment before the next salvo of brainbusters, springboard hurricanranas and stunners. Higa hits more often, but Jarvis hits harder. They tease finishing moves, Jarvis seems to get her her lockdown sleeper hold in, but Higa fights out of it. Higa tries the HIga Green Driver, but is only rewarded with a mat slam. When she gets to her feet Jarvis goes for the Tornado Elbow Smash, but eats a spinning back kick instead. Higa seems to have studied her opponent, and Jarvis has seen pretty much everything.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

There’s a ref bump which Jarvis takes advantage of with a low blow. Higa rolls out of the ring to get away from Jarvis while she recovers, but that only takes the fighting to Jarvis home turf, a ringside full of improvised weapons and hard surfaces to slam Higa into, which she does, repeatedly, until Higa is busted open, her face turning into a crimson mask. </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Despite all this, it’s Higa that hits the first big hit, landing a Higa Green Driver, driving Jarvis head first into the bare floor just in front of the announce table, leaving Jarvis out cold. Her chest heaving from the exertion, Higa looks around frantically, sees the scaffolding holding the lighting rig towering over the ring, one corner post just behind the announce desk. She drags Jarvis up on the announce table, and start climbing up the scaffolding. Several times she halts her climb, looks down at the announce table which Farrah, Grace and Alfonso has long since cleared, but each time, she starts climbing higher up, until there’s really nowhere higher to go. She looks down at the still motionless Jarvis, seems to say a prayer, before stepping out into empty air, for the mother of all elbow drops, hitting Jarvis straight on, the table collapsing in a pile of rubble under them.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Everything becomes silent. Someone screams. It seems obvious someone, if not both of them are dead. Nobody stirs. First to move is the one left in the ring, Eve Lawrence who slowly comes to, looks confused before she realizes where the two wrestlers are, then she starts to count them out.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

On four, Higa starts moving, stumbles to her feet, but when she steps past Jarvis, a hand grabs at her feet, refusing to let Higa go, but a kick later, and Higa is on her way to the ring. On seven she rolls into the ring. Outside the ring, Jarvis has gotten to her feet, but her legs won’t carry her and she collapse back to the ground. Seeing this, Higa rolls out of the ring, grabs Jarvis and drags her back to the ring, pushing her in under the ropes.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Going straight for the cover, Higa does not look terribly shocked that Jarvis gets a shoulder up before the three count, but she does seem a bit unsure what to do. Her go to finisher, the Higa Green Driver require an upright opponent, and Jarvis doesn’t seem to be in any condition to stand up at the moment. Instead, Higa grabs Jarvis in a straight jacket hold, lifts her to standing and suplexes her into a bridging pin. This time, Erin Lawrence counts 1, 2, 3, and it is over.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

<b>Higa wins by pinfall in 22:29</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Match Rating: B-</b></p></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Perhaps prepared for trouble with Ronin 3, Gemmei Oonishi and Teresa Perez are waiting in the wings and come out and join Higa as soon as the match is over. After Hannah Potter has handed over the Queen of the Ring trophy and a rain of confetti has been released, Higa is celebrated by her friends and by the fans until the broadcast fades to black.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

At some point down the line, we’ll get Killer Kass vs Jillian Jarvis. *Then* we’ll really see how strong the push is.

<p>Very nicely put together as a show and I'll admit I got swerved more than once. The unpredictability in your booking/storytelling is largely responsible for me coming back to read another show. Plus, Higa won the big one so all is right in the world <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/biggrin.png.929299b4c121f473b0026f3d6e74d189.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p>

<b>Dark Match 2:</b> <strong>Gemmei Oonishi</strong> vs Jaguar Queen</p><p>

<em>With the way things have been going for the Jaguar clan, the queen probably needs a win but as a fanboy cheering for indy darlings, I'll go with Gemmei for this one</em></p><p> </p><p>

MrWolf101 · May 2, 2017

<p>Great show Dr_Avalanche! I was definitely surprised by some of the results (as shown by my lack of correctly predicted matches <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />) but in a good way.</p><p> </p><p>

Talia winning the belt does make me happy. From my BSC playthrough, she is someone that can carry the ball, even when there are a lot of talented people around, so I'm hoping she will have a good reign. Plus, her vs Higa would be amazing.</p><p> </p><p>

Are Melody AND Lauren Easter coming to QAW? That would be quite a coup. I'm not sure if that is what this is signalling, or if QAW has signed a working agreement with NOTBPW.</p><p> </p><p>

Holy hell Higa! What a bump! I definitely think you made the right call with that match going on last, because nothing could have gone on after that.</p><p> </p><p>

Oh, not that it matters score-wise, but I did call Talia vs Chitose as being the match of the night. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/biggrin.png.929299b4c121f473b0026f3d6e74d189.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p>

Dark Match 1: Águila Azul Celeste vs <strong>Maribel Mercado</strong></p><p>

<em>Sky Eagle has fallen down the card, but hopefully matches like this will help build up her popularity even when losing.</em></p><p>

Dark Match 2: <strong>Gemmei Oonishi</strong> vs Jaguar Queen</p><p>

<em>Jaguar Queen = Loss, am I doing this right? </em><img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/wink.png.686f06e511ee1fbf6bdc7d82f6831e53.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p>

Opening Match: <strong>Top Dogs (Killer Kass & Spectre)</strong> vs Special Edition (Sweet & Young)</p><p>

<em>I think you've done well booking Spectre actually. She's picked up a couple big wins, but I don't think anyone could come into QAW right now and dominate every match. That said, she probably needs this win more than anyone else in the match, and I see Deborah Young taking the fall.</em></p><p> </p><p>

<em>Would be a huge upset if Cherry doesn't retain here, but I see Brooke putting in another great performance. I </em><em><strong>really </strong></em><em>like what you did with Etsuko and Maria's storyline. Definitely had me expecting the normal heel turn beats, but that swerve was tremendous. I think you made the right call since a Maria heel turn is iffy at best given her stats.</em></p><p><em> </em></p><p><em>

As for Cherry, I'm interested to see what happens with her Shockwave reign. With Talia holding the World title, this could end up like when John Cena held the US Title, in that Cherry elevates the belt to almost on par with that belt given her veteran status.</em></p><p> </p><p>

Match 3: <strong>Capitano </strong>vs Purple Viper</p><p>

<em>I think the rebuilding of Capitano continues, with the feud against Bad Girls Inc continuing.</em></p><p> </p><p>

Main Event: Bad Girls (LaRue & Flame) vs <strong>The Untouchables ©</strong> (Quinzel & Winters) Tag Team Title match</p><p>

<em>Hmmm, tough, and this should be match of the night given who is in it. I have to think you want to follow up Talia's big win at the biggest show of the year with a victory. At the same time, it's hard having multiple belts on the same person, but I say the Untouchables get a little longer reign, maybe dropping them to Birds of Prey somewhere down the line.</em></p><p><em> </em></p><p><em>

Oh, and is it obvious how happy seeing Claire and Laura face off in a QAW main event makes me? </em><img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/biggrin.png.929299b4c121f473b0026f3d6e74d189.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p>

Bonus Questions:</p><p> </p><p>

Which is the Match of the Night? <strong>Main event</strong>, tag matches seem to be QAW's bread and butter.</p><p>

How many titles change hand? <strong>Zero</strong></p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

kingjames · May 2, 2017

<p>That Brayfield/Guest/Arihyoshi storytelling was one of my favorite stories told in your diary thus far. You didn't swerve, exactly; it was unexpected, since we all know our wrestling tropes so well, but Guest's decision was absolutely a logical one for her to have made. Guest, for me, just became one of the company's uber-faces. Because it's easy to be good when you're not presented with any temptation. It's choosing to do good when you can make the choice not to do so and achieve an immediate benefit that is laudable. That's what Guest did, and I hope she gets some booking to capitalize on that character choice.</p><p> </p><p>

Dark Match 1: Águila Azul Celeste vs <strong>Maribel Mercado</strong></p><p>

<em>Aguila keeps on losing until her pop gets to a place where she can hang with the rest of the roster.</em></p><p> </p><p>

Dark Match 2: <strong>Gemmei Oonishi</strong> vs Jaguar Queen</p><p>

<em>It'll be a cold day in hell when Oonishi doesn't beat the Pin-Eater of Worlds.</em></p><p> </p><p>

Opening Match: <strong>Top Dogs (Killer Kass & Spectre)</strong> vs Special Edition (Sweet & Young)</p><p>

<em>Kass & Spectre need a win to establish themselves. By keeping the most protected member of Ronin 3 out of this, Kass & Spectre get a signature win over Ronin 3 to be credible, but Jarvis can always hang her hat on the fact that she wasn't there, and if she had been, the outcome would be different.</em></p><p> </p><p>

<em>Not a bad way of working yourself out of a booking snafu, going with the three-way match. You know, a man like Boss Man Brayfield isn't going to take to two young upstarts foiling his plans. Plus, he's a manager, so his narrative purpose is missing if he's not managing someone. Cherry could retain here, but I think sacrificing the 40+ year old Cherry Bomb for the sake of the future seems appropriate. I think Brooke Tyler acquires the managerial services of Brayfield, along with the rest of the Franchise Players. AA and Snyder would seem to be made for the "henchwomen" role, could take losses as necessary to keep Tyler's momentum up. Plus, they can serve as a fine combo to take on Arihyoshi and Guest.</em></p><p> </p><p>

Match 3: <strong>Capitano</strong> vs Purple Viper</p><p>

<em>Capitano needs to stay in the picture. I doubt she'll make herself the #1 star of the company, but in order for her to put over the very tippy-top of QAW, she's got to have some solid wins to make her losses meaningful. Purple Viper strikes me the same way, only at a lower level. The numbers don't lie, and the spell disaster for Purple Viper at Sacri...I mean, Army of One.</em></p><p> </p><p>

Main Event: <strong>Bad Girls (LaRue & Flame)</strong> vs The Untouchables © (Quinzel & Winters) Tag Team Title match</p><p>

<em>I think there can be a benefit to someone holding both a singles title and a tag team title, but I think you probably can get more benefit from LaRue and Flame holding the titles. I think Winters eats the loss for the Untouchables, which keeps Quinzel strong and lets her focus entirely on QAW's main title.</em></p><p> </p><p>

Bonus Questions:</p><p>

Which is the Match of the Night?</p><p> </p><p>

<em>That </em><em><strong>main event</strong></em><em>, unless something goes terribly wrong, should be another classic QAW tag team match (playa).</em></p><p> </p><p>

How many titles change hand?</p><p>

<em><strong>One</strong></em><em> title change, I think.</em></p><p> </p><p>

<em>Going with a </em><em><strong>63</strong></em><em> again; the tag match should be excellent and a showcase for the future of QAW, but it may not have the same drawing factor as some other members of the roster.</em></p>

Talia Quinzel is not the only new champion in the world of women’s wrestling. In USPW Missy Masterson is the new women's champion after Miss Sara, aka Sara Marie York lost the women’s title after an impressive 15 successful title defenses. It was her second reign. </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

After turning the entire COTT against them by leaving the alliance in September and going on to put on shows in Northern Mexico and South West of USA, QAW drew the ire of their former alliance partners, turning relationships quite hostile. QAW did not rest long however, and with little fanfare announced Women’s Wrestling Alliance, or WWA. Aside of QAW, the alliance which is said to be centered around talent trade has presented one other member - North of the Border Pro Wrestling. Certainly the appearance of Melody and Lauren Easter at the recent Hall of Fame induction of Miss Mexico was a sign of things to come. </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

The nerds in the Wrestling Gazetteer basement - okay, I admit, that’s me - stumbled upon the fact that at the upcoming Army of One where Bad Girls challenge The Untouchables for their tag team titles Foxxy LaRue will be the headline act for a QAW event for the 50th time under head booker Sarah Wilkes, which must be considered quite a remarkable achievement. I think that’s a number that deserves celebrating - with more numbers! To that end, I’ve gone through every single main event since January 2016 and ticked off the participants. There have been a number of tag team matches headlining, but no trios matches and no battle royals, so it’s not *that* easy to get on the list. That said, the list reveals a thing or two about QAW and their prodigal booker. For example, Queen of the Ring Higa won the trophy in her second ever main event! Jillian Jarvis trails behind in second place on the list with just over 40 main events. </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">
